The aim of the course is to raise students' awareness on issues related to methods of digital visualization - information simulation and audiovisual material with spatial reference (drawing, map, image, video, audio, text, etc.) and in particular through their presentation using interactive - multimedia applications.
The availability and creation of high quality digital content as well as its processing and presentation is crucial to support activities of spatial and architectural interest. The development of multimedia applications contributes significantly and in many ways to the presentation of an architectural project (digitization of components, conversion of architectural elements into interactive elements, web simulation, educational representation, script creation, roles of spatial objects, overlapping spatial, design and descriptive work programming development, digital resource promotion, digital participatory design, management of integrated interactive digital buildings, etc.).
The acquisition of basic knowledge and the development of skills, through a critical approach and adaptation of the subject to serve the needs of students, is achieved through the presentation of individual theoretical units and implementation of laboratory exercises.
The theoretical modules concern the introduction of basic theoretical concepts of multimedia and internet technology (material and process of multimedia development, image, design, modeling, rendering, audio-acoustics, etc.), methods - processes of information digitization, presentation of devices (hardware) and software features used to design, develop and use multimedia applications.
The laboratory exercises concern the acquaintance with basic functions of software design, creation, processing and reproduction of digital material which is used as an interaction environment between user and Computer. In particular, the laboratory exercises formed to modules are, among others, related to vector 3D modeling, virtual reality, audio and text in digital format, creating and editing digital images and videos, through the design, development and presentation of multimedia applications of architectural project.
The laboratory modules are framed by the presentation of a complete simulation platform and multimedia presentation under the approach of representation tools, exploration and analysis of space through a dynamic adaptation of new methodologies and software.
